Week 41, 2021

Monday 11 to Sunday 17 October 2021.

I'm sitting at home on Sunday evening after a lovely, relaxing bath. Perusing Twitter I see Sam Villis tweet her first week notes in a while. So, inspired, I start this.

This week I:

  • completed my first proper week of Open University study
  • chatted with Onyeka Onyekwelu who recently started as a Number 10 innovation fellow
  • was inspired by Onyeka to put the word hacker back in my Twitter profile
  • spent time with Jen going over our work objectives
  • we also offered to become co-chairs of the Ministry of Justice job sharing network
  • did a retro with the team on our first local content managers community meetup
  • joined my first One Team Gov arround the world meetup
  • went for a walk in the woods on Saturday
  • stopped taking by new ADHD meds cause they're making me unwell
  • spent the rest of the weekend recoverying.

I'll leave you with some pictures from the walk in the woods. More next week.
